Deans' stroke musings: Share Afib awareness in September

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Share Afib awareness in September

Another failure from the National Stroke Association.

**Guargantuan F*cking Whoopee.**

Who gives a shit about awareness? We want solutions/results, do that and it might be worth donating to you.

Dear Dean,

Watch Maureen’s story

September is Atrial Fibrillation (Afib) Awareness Month, and we are committed to bringing attention to this health condition and its connection to stroke.
Fact: Afib is a type of irregular or “racing” heartbeat that can cause blood to collect in the heart and potentially form a clot that can lead to a stroke.
Fact: Afib increases the risk for stroke by 500%.
Fact: Afib affects an estimated 2.2 million people in the U.S.
There are many stories like Maureen’s—who didn’t know she had Afib prior to having a stroke. It is estimated that one-third of patients with Afib are undiagnosed. Learn how Maureen found her voice and became her own advocate on her road to recovery.
